After watching the first and second seasons of "Roma" intermittently and incompletely, what impressed me the most was the most unscrupulous Anthony in that chaotic world.
If people can be as arrogant as Anthony in this life, they can have no regrets. I'm talking about Anthony in HBO's "Roma", but according to Plutarch, Anthony gambled, drank heavily, and had sex with men and women in Rome in his early years, and owed 250 talents before he was 20 years old ( Equivalent to millions of dollars today). So in the TV series, he was in the house of Octavian, in front of Cicero, in the Senate, and in the Egyptian palace. It is also in line with his character. Character determines fate. Even if he does not meet Octavian, a political genius and extremely hypocritical, Anthony will eventually fail because his soul has been swallowed by desire. However, when Cleopatra was bewildered to the point of being half-awake, he asked his former lover Attia, "Does she still like to pose as before?", which is still moving. After the battle of Akexion, Anthony said, I have always been afraid of failure, but if I fail, I feel that it is not so terrible. The sun still rises and the water is still as sweet. Stop worrying about gains and losses, because there is nothing left to lose.

    The smell of small cost is too obvious, all the major war scenes are bypassed, and it is completely the taste of palace fighting drama. Shooting is too modern.

    Watching this historical drama filmed by others, 22 episodes have explained politics, love, folklore, struggle, rights, friendship, and a lot of people's affairs. Watching the film in China, more than a hundred and ten episodes of love drama will be collected. Watching Bangziguo, I didn’t understand anything after shooting hundreds of episodes...

Rome quotes

  • Gaius Julius Caesar: He refuses to meet me!

  • Cassius: Look now. Look at that.

    Marcus Junius Brutus: It is a chair. What of it?

    Cassius: A chair? It's a throne!

    Marcus Junius Brutus: I believe thrones are generally more decorative. That is decidedly plain, and chair-like.
